This study will track relevant trends in star studies vis-à-vis Philippine scholarly output, and will then look at an extreme example of Aunor-as-auteur by way of demonstrating the predicament her presence has posed for local scholarship. 2024-12-18T13:13:03Z text application/pdf https://archium.ateneo.edu/kk/vol1/iss25/14 info:doi/10.13185/1656-152x.1652 https://archium.ateneo.edu/context/kk/article/1652/viewcontent/_5BKKv00n25_2015_5D_204.0_Introduction.pdf Kritika Kultura Archīum Ateneo audience auteurism Nora Aunor reflexivity
